RGS Energy Selected as Exclusive Installer for Solarize Cranston Campaign
June 12 2017 - 8:31AM
RGS Energy (NASDAQ:RGSE), a residential and small-business
commercial solar company since 1978, has been selected by Solarize
Cranston, through a state-run program, Solarize Rhode Island, to
bring solar electricity to home and business owners in Cranston,
Rhode Island.
Solarize Rhode Island is a community supported
discount buying program that uses tiered pricing, town supported
education and outreach, competitively selected installers and
access to flexible financing to dramatically reduce the cost of
solar. The more residents sign up for the program, the more the
cost comes down. The township of Cranston is the third largest city
in the state, consisting of approximately 31,000 homeowners.
The following organizations will work together to
provide marketing support for the campaign: RGS Energy, the
Solarize Rhode Island Program Administrators, the Rhode Island
Office of Energy Resources (OER), the Rhode Island Commerce
Corporation’s Renewable Energy Fund, and SmartPower, a non-profit
marketing firm dedicated to promoting clean energy and energy
efficiency. The campaign began June 7 and will run
through September 8.
“Solarize Rhode Island is an exciting program that
has educated thousands of Rhode Island residents and facilitated
almost 500 residents and business owners to make the decision to go
solar,” said Shauna Beland, the Solarize Rhode Island Program
Manager. “OER looks forward to working in Cranston with RGS Energy
on continuing to provide solar education to Cranston
residents.”
Karen Stewart, community outreach manager of
SmartPower, noted: “Once again we are joining forces with RGS
Energy to help increase the adoption of small-scale solar
electricity to another Rhode Island community. In Rhode Island, RGS
Energy has completed hundreds of solar installations, several of
which are in Cranston. They can provide the type of efficiency and
capacity that Cranston needs and this makes them an excellent fit
for the Spring 2017 Solarize Cranston campaign. In addition, their
marketing support and experience were key factors in the selection
of RGS Energy as the preferred installer.”
RGS Energy Vice President of Sales Seth Wiggins
commented: “We are honored to be chosen as the preferred installer
on another Solarize Rhode Island campaign. For nearly four decades,
we have been helping homeowners and businesses reduce their
electricity costs with sustainable, renewable solar power. In fact,
this solarize program marks the 41st time in our history we have
been awarded a community solarize campaign. We believe that this
may have the potential to be our most successful Solarize Rhode
Island program to date.”
